KILLING TIME
The games that have kept us entertained this month
Tom Clancy’s The Division
Playing a game based around a deadly pandemic during an actual pandemic seems a bit macabre, but it’s fascinating to see just how well this game has actually held up. Booted up on a shiny new Xbox Series X and this game looks fantastic, bringing a snowy New York to life in intricate detail. While the looter shooter element feels slightly out of date, the actual moment to moment action is still top drawer. Spending a lot of time in the last man standing Survival mode is also a fresh twist – as you’re required to battle both the freezing environment as well as fending off hunger and thirst plus a bevy of NPC and player controlled rivals.
